About the role
You will be joining a friendly and hardworking Legacy Administration Team that is responsible for liaising with solicitors and lay executors to ensure that some 500 cases a year are dealt with sensitively and efficiently.

About you
You are proactive, have excellent attention to detail and a flair for managing a busy administration workload. You are a good communicator who is able to liaise sensitively and professionally with both internal teams and external personal and professional executors. You will also have excellent IT and interpersonal skills, and ideally you will have experience or knowledge of legacy estate administration.
We hope that this sounds like the right role for you, if so, we would love to hear from you.
Further information
At Christian Aid we strive to be an inclusive and diverse employer and recognise the value that this brings in helping to build strong, creative and high performing teams.
We are actively encouraging racialised minorities, LGBTQ+, people with disabilities, returning parents or carers who are re-entering work after a career break, people with caring responsibilities, people from low socioeconomic backgrounds, women, and older workers to apply. This is because these groups are under-represented within our teams, especially at senior level, and we recognise and value the contributions members of these groups make to strong, creative and high performing teams.
We have a strong Christian ethos and we encourage applications from all faiths and none (with the exception of Director positions where there is a genuine occupational requirement to be a practicing Christian - Exempted under the Equality Act 2010).
All successful candidates will require a DBS/police check appropriate to the role and location and a Counter Terrorism Sanction check as part of your clearance for commencing your role with us. We also participate in the Inter Agency Misconduct Disclosure Scheme. In line with this Scheme, we will request information as part of the referencing process from job applicants' previous employers about any findings of sexual exploitation, sexual abuse and/or sexual harassment during employment, or incidents under investigation when the applicant left employment. By submitting an application, the job applicant confirms their understanding of these recruitment procedures.
This role requires applicants to have the right to live and work in the country where this position is based and undertake the role that you have been offered. If you are successful and we make you an offer for the role, we will be required to conduct a right to work check on your immigration status in the UK. We will contact you regarding the documentation you will need to provide to evidence this.
You can expect a wide range of rewards and benefits, including a generous holiday allowance, a season ticket loan, and flexibility that will ensure you enjoy a good work/life balance.

About us
We give hope to people affected by drugs and alcohol. We help women, children and families find the strength and opportunities to make choices that lead to change. Not just for themselves, but for their families, their friends and their communities. For all of us.
We treat the person, not just the problem. We don’t ‘fix’ or rescue anyone. Instead, we give women hope that things can be better, and the tools to make changes. We understand that people aren’t always straightforward – and that a tough start in life doesn’t have to mean a bad end. For over 25 years, we’ve worked with compassion and creativity to show just that.
